Tudie Rose

I'm Tudie Rose, rebel granny who refuses to give up her dream.

---

Tudie Rose is a wife, mom of four, granny to ten, and retired legal secretary.  She has had a life-long dream of writing.  In August, 2011, when they became "empty nesters," Tudie quit her full-time legal secretary job to spend more time with her retired husband, who is 12 years her senior, before he becomes too old or too sick to enjoy it.  Tudie now pursues her writing dream and shares many good times with her husband.
